Missing Engine Parts Caused F-16 Crash Near DC, Air Force Says

i hope they find and smoke the clowns who screwed the Aircraft and almost Killed the Pilot...

Rule number 1: If you got extry parts den somtin' ain't rite.

TSgt Joe C. I suppose "oops" is not an acceptable answer? So is this an effect of high workload/low personnel, training, carelessness, or all of the above. This could have been a lot worse. A fully fueled plane crashing into McHomes would have been horrible. Kudos to the pilot for keeping the plane away from populated areas. Though I imagine he took the seat cushion with him.
